Chapter 1326: Fire Ao Lin
She sat on the sofa with an unpleasant expression.
Margot looked at her and showed an amused expression, asking knowingly: "Why are you back?"
Mikala glanced at her and said: "To see how my student takes the first victory."
*First victory? * Margot raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself that Mikala was really putting on a brave front; her face was already this ugly, yet she still had to get the last word.
Although she didn't think highly of Qiao Sang, the opponent was, after all, a guy from Flame Heaven University. She didn't continue this topic and instead sighed:
"I didn't expect Qiao Sang to appear first."
*I didn't expect it either... * Mikala looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, her expression solemn.
*Jerome, this is not an easy opponent to defeat... *
Area A, Row 3.
Qiao Sang: "???"
Qiao Sang was completely dumbfounded.
She, going to fight first in the Masters Challenge?
Wasn't it said that after the opening ceremony ends tonight, only one group of contestants would appear in the remaining time, so the contestants who appear must be very popular?
Has Jerome's popularity on Flame Heaven Star reached such a level?
As these thoughts flickered, she noticed several cameras aimed at her and hurriedly managed her expression, showing a calm appearance.
"Yaya?"
Like Ya Bao turned its head and called out excitedly to its beast tamer, indicating if they were the first to appear?
"That's right," Qiao Sang said.
"Super Xunxun!"
Xiao Xiao Xunbao showed an excited expression, took off its ring, found a mirror, and wanted to check itself.
However, at this moment, Qiao Sang continued: "Get ready, we're going on stage."
After saying this, she waved her hand and recalled Like Ya Bao and the others into the Beast Taming Canon.
Immediately, she thought of something, took out her phone, opened the chat interface with Teacher Mikala, and sent a message:
【Teacher, I'm about to compete. Could you please come and pick up Xia Xia Lala?】
Mikala replied instantly: 【Okay.】
"I'm going to compete, Teacher will come to pick you up," Qiao Sang said to Xia Xia Lala after looking at the message.
"Xia, Qingqing." Xia Xia Lala nodded, showed a serious expression, and called out.
*Good luck. *
"I will," Qiao Sang smiled.
During the conversation, on the field, the three hosts disappeared at the same time and appeared on the commentary platform at the very top.
Immediately after, on both sides of the field, a high platform 50 meters high slowly rose.
On the commentary platform, Nefthys held the microphone and said loudly:
"Next, let us welcome contestants Jerome and Qiao Sang with the warmest applause!"
Applause and cheers erupted instantly, and the entire stadium fell into a fanatical atmosphere.
"Studying at Flame Heaven University, Flame Class," Aoroer introduced in a passionate tone: "Once won the Interstellar Famous School Beast Taming Battle Championship, once Flame Imperial Cup Champion, one Total Imperial Cup Champion, once World League Champion, once Golden Imperial Award! Twice Grand Slam of the two major leagues! Having won so many championships, he is still 61 years old upon returning! 1.88 meters tall, 81 kilograms, an A-level professional beast tamer from the Flame Country of Flame Heaven Star! Jerome Ramirez!"
As his words fell, a beam of light landed on Area A, Row 5.
The next second, Jerome appeared on the 50-meter-high platform on the left side of the field.
The whole venue erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers than before.
"Jerome!"
"Jerome!"
"Jerome!"
The spotlight fell on him.
Jerome smiled and waved at the audience around him.
*It's my turn... * Qiao Sang took a deep breath and placed Xia Xia Lala on the seat beside her.
The moment she put it down, Xia Xia Lala disappeared.
On the commentary platform, Nefthys also took a deep breath and introduced in an even more passionate tone: "From Blue Star Dragon Country, studying at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, Imperial Class, once won the National Campus Beast Taming League Championship! Central Region Competition Champion! Promoted several levels in one year! Only 18 years old! The youngest A-level professional beast tamer in interstellar history! Qiao Sang!"
A beam of light landed on Area A, Row 3.
Qiao Sang's vision went dark, and when the light returned, she found herself on the 50-meter-high platform.
The lights shone down, and looking out, there were heads everywhere in all directions.
"Bang bang bang..."
*Is this the interstellar stage... * Qiao Sang looked at the sea of people in the audience, feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
The audience didn't immediately erupt into applause and cheers like before.
The stadium, which could accommodate over 100,000 people, went eerily quiet for a moment, then erupted into a clamor like a tide.
The scene exploded instantly, and the noise was deafening.
"Did I hear that right? 18 years old? Is it true or false?"
"My god! 18 years old? She said 18 years old?!"
"An 18-year-old A-level beast tamer, this, is this possible?!"
"When I watched the promotional video, I thought this contestant named Qiao Sang was exceptionally young, but I didn't expect her to be really this young!"
"This talent is too terrifying! Even if you start practicing from the womb, it's impossible to become an A-level beast tamer at 18! Is this really a human?"
"I was wondering why a beast tamer who had never participated in an interstellar competition was allowed to appear in the promotional video; it turns out she's only 18!"
"Mommy, I had just started college at 18..."
"An 18-year-old A-level beast tamer, this must be unprecedented, right? Did she just become an A-level beast tamer? How did she get matched with Jerome right away? This is too miserable; I really wanted to watch her compete a few more times."
"A student from Flame Heaven University's Flame Class against a student from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy's Imperial Class, I was quite looking forward to it, but now I suddenly feel it's a bit of a pity. An 18-year-old A-level beast tamer, if only she could compete a few more times."
Blue Star.
Dragon Country, Hanggang City.
Villa.
The moment Ye Ye Xiangting saw Qiao Sang appear on the field, her blood boiled, and she shouted:
"Go Qiao Sang! Go Qiao Sang!"
"Tonghua! Tonghua!"
Tonghua Owl also stood up, waving its wings forcefully.
"Xinxin."
Faith Weng calmed down after being excited and called out, indicating that this opponent had many championships and sounded very powerful.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ye Xiangting remained excited:
"The beast tamers who can participate in this competition are all powerful, but which of them can be as young as my daughter."
After saying this, she continued to shout loudly:
"Go Qiao Sang! Go Qiao Sang!"
Faith Weng felt it made sense and followed along, waving its wings and shouting:
"Xinxin!"
"Xinxin!"
"Guan Guan!" Guan Guan Zhishi sat on the sofa and followed along, calling out.
On the TV screen, the countdown had already begun.
Giant light and shadow appeared on the field, counting down.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
Ye Ye Xiangting took a big sip of coffee and chatted with a smile:
"Who do you think Qiao Sang will send out first?"
"Tonghua." Tonghua Owl pondered for a moment and called out, indicating it should be Like Ya Bao.
In its memory, Like Ya Bao's attack was the strongest.
"Xinxin."
Faith Weng nodded, indicating agreement.
"I also think it should be Like Ya Bao," Ye Ye Xiangting looked at the TV and analyzed: "Although this contestant named Jerome is strong, his strongest pet should only be Emperor-level. Like Ya Bao is also Emperor-level now, so Qiao Sang might not necessarily lose to him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Sang and Jerome on the TV screen formed seals with their hands, and two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up on the field at the same time.
Ye Ye Xiangting's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but lean forward a bit.
Come to think of it, she had only seen photos of Like Ya Bao after it evolved; she hadn't seen any videos or anything.
*I wonder what Like Ya Bao is like when fighting after becoming Emperor-level... *
As these thoughts flickered, two figures slowly appeared in the two star arrays at the same time.
One big and one small, the size difference was exceptionally huge.
Among them, the figure that was both small and impossibly black grinned, revealed two rows of white teeth, and called out:
"Super Xunxun~"
"!!!"
Ye Ye Xiangting's eyes widened instantly.
*This, isn't this the pet that only showed two rows of teeth just now! *
*Is it Xiao Xiao Xunbao? *
*Xiao Xiao Xunbao also evolved?! *
Just as she was thinking, Tonghua Owl showed a shocked expression and called out:
"Tonghua?"
*How did Xiao Xiao Xunbao become so black? *
"Guan Guan?" Guan Guan Zhishi thought of something, showed a confused expression, and called out.
*Is the pet you said was very black and scared you just now Xiao Xiao Xunbao? *
Ye Ye Xiangting was silent for a second and said insincerely: "No, Xiao Xiao Xunbao isn't as exaggeratedly black as that pet just now."
"Tonghua?"
Tonghua Owl was even more shocked.
*Is there a pet blacker than Xiao Xiao Xunbao is now? *
Ye Ye Xiangting: "..."
"Boom!"
On the TV screen, the pet she didn't recognize had already started attacking. Ye Ye Xiangting immediately focused her mind and looked at the TV nervously.
*My daughter hasn't told me about Xiao Xiao Xunbao's evolution yet; it must have evolved not long ago. Is it too risky to send it out in the first round? *
Flame Heaven Star, Tan Country.
Saye International Stadium.
On the field, a giant red figure stayed in place, constantly bursting with burning flames.
And another black figure was constantly changing positions and shuttling through the flames.
In the audience, everyone and every pet looked at the scene on the field and discussed:
"Is this really an Emperor-level pet? Why is it so small? And it's so black..."
"It must be. Didn't you hear the host introduce it just now? This is called Underworld Ring Monarch, and it's a different-colored Emperor-level pet. It has Psychic-type and Dark-type more than ordinary Underworld Ring Monarchs, but this size is indeed small... The flames splashed by Fire Ao Lin feel bigger than it..."
"Don't look at the size; such a small Emperor-level pet is actually harder to fight than some larger Emperor-level pets."
"Did this Underworld Ring Monarch just evolve? I feel like it wasn't among the pets Qiao Sang summoned in the promotional video."
"Are you saying that someone at 18 already has 3 Emperor-level pets?!"
"... I mean, Jerome has a better chance of winning this match."
*A newly evolved Emperor-level pet, how can it compare to Fire Ao Lin, who has won championships in major international competitions. *
Fire Ao Lin, Fire-type Emperor-level pet, said to be born in a fire meteor. The flames on its body can burst out with the effect of a fire meteor at any time, and it also has super strong physical strength and tolerance. It is an extremely rare species among Fire-type pets... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, which was over thirty meters tall, with a body that was mostly red, had four legs, and almost all the hair on its body looked like burning flames. However, within the hair that looked like flames, one could faintly see some red scales. Relevant information appeared in her mind.
*Sure enough, Jerome sent out Fire Ao Lin in the first match... *
Fire Ao Lin has powerful attack power, and its attack range can completely cover the entire field. For a pet with such a large attack range, neither Like Ya Bao, Gangbao, nor Lubao can dodge the attack. Only Xiao Xiao Xunbao, who has the Curse Body, Cursed Body, Destiny Bond, Grudge Possession, and Borrow Life traits, as well as the Shadow Penetration trait, is most suitable for fighting it.
"Penetrate," Qiao Sang said.
On the field, Fire Ao Lin's huge body constantly burst out flames irregularly, like a fire meteor flying upside down from bottom to top.
Xiao Xiao Xunbao shuttled through the flames shooting upward in the sky.
Suddenly, it grinned, and purple light flashed in its eyes.
The next second, hundreds of black holes appeared out of thin air in the sky, and streaks of burning flames rushed into them.
Jerome showed a surprised expression and issued an order without any hesitation:
"Explode."
"Fire Ao."
Fire Ao Lin stepped down hard with its left front claw.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Immediately after, the flames filling the sky exploded almost at the same time, making violent explosive sounds, and shockwaves swept through every corner of the field like a hot knife through butter.
On the commentary platform, Nefthys's eyes lit up, and she explained in a very fast tone:
"Underworld Ring Monarch finally launched a counterattack! It used the super-level skill Shadow Penetration. So many Shadow Penetrations must already be at the level of an ultimate move! It's hard to imagine that Contestant Qiao Sang became an A-level professional beast tamer at such a young age, and also raised the pet's level and skill proficiency to such a high level!"
Aoroer took over: "Fire Ao Lin's Fire Meteor Upside Down all exploded! This is a combination skill of Fire Meteor Upside Down and Flame Explosion! If the flames explode in the different space created by Shadow Penetration, I don't know if it will directly cause the different space to become unstable."
"I don't know if the different space will become unstable, but Contestant Qiao Sang's plan to use Shadow Penetration to transfer the flames and counterattack Fire Ao Lin is afraid it will fail," Nefthys said.
"Contestant Qiao Sang should not know yet that Jerome's Fire Ao Lin possesses a high-level Flash Fire trait and is not afraid of flames at all," Aoroer said.
"Gui Gui?"
The humanoid flower-type pet showed a worried expression and called out.
*The whole field has exploded now; I don't know if Underworld Ring Monarch is injured. *
Nefthys pondered and said: "With Underworld Ring Monarch's ghostly speed, it should be able to quickly flash into the Shadow Penetration it cast, but the different space of Shadow Penetration is also being impacted by the combination skill of Fire Meteor Upside Down and Flame Explosion at this moment. The defense of Ghost-type pets has always been low. I think Underworld Ring Monarch should have suffered no small injuries in the previous confrontation."
At this moment, Aoroer's eyes suddenly widened: "What a big Shadow Penetration!"
On the field, a super giant Shadow Penetration appeared behind and above Fire Ao Lin.
At this time, countless shockwaves were still exploding around Fire Ao Lin.
"Behind and above!" Jerome shouted.
Countless flames suddenly emerged from Fire Ao Lin's body and burst toward the back and above!
A giant figure over sixty meters tall slowly floated out from the giant Shadow Penetration.
The Underworld Ring Monarch, over sixty meters tall, wearing armor condensed from black energy, appeared before everyone's eyes.
A powerful aura descended suddenly, and for a time, even the audience in the back row felt a very strong sense of oppression. ===== CHAPTER 1327 =====
